Buddha Quote

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."

Then again, Johnny Cash's comments, "I felt so sick I was afraid I was going to live."
More seriously, what does the Buddha say to the abused, dying child who feels unloved? I know, he says, "I will always love you."

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND CORNUCOPIOUS THANKSGIVING — always lay an extra placing at the table for the unexpecting guest — if one doesn't show then go out and find one! usually by the soup kitchen...-- Robert Edwards, somewhere in the USA

I wonder what he would say with regards to the horrific abuse the USA and Saudi is committing in the Yemen with a million or more children starving. And, Israels abuse of the children and people of GAZA...-- Robert Edwards, somewhere in the USA

I like it a lot.-- Mike, Norwalk

This is a great quote, but I do not believe it can be attributed to the Buddha. I think it's from Leo Buscaglia who was quoting/paraphrasing a Thai Buddhist teacher — perhaps in Born for Love: Reflections on Loving.
